Memorial site

Located in the Kapele cemetery, on the outskirts of the northern part of Krustpils on the right side of the city of Jēkabpils, behind the Krustpils railway station on Zvaigžņu Street.

The monument is dedicated to the soldiers of the 4th Valmiera Infantry Regiment who fell in the Latvian Liberation Wars - Corporal Fridrihs Gagnus and soldiers Jēkabs Lutcs, Jānis Miķelsons, Mārtiņš Pabērzs, Jānis Statāns and Gustas Līcis, who participated in the liberation of Krustpils and Jēkabpils from the German invaders and died on August 26, 1919, and were laid to rest in a common grave on August 29, 1919.

In 1937, the Latgale Artillery Regiment turned to the Brothers' Grave Committee with a request to develop a project for the monument. The monument was designed by architect V. Vitands, while the monument in the form of a plaque was made by E. Kuraua's firm. Already on September 30, 1938, with the participation of participants in the Freedom Struggle, the Krustpils Society, and the honor guard of the Latgale Artillery Regiment, the monument was consecrated. The monument, under the text on the D side, originally had a rifle and a helmet cast in bronze. They disappeared. In 2006, the missing parts were restored in similar plastic, and on September 2 of the same year, the restored monument was consecrated with the participation of representatives of the city of Valmiera. The words are engraved on the monument: "We died so that you may live."
